My lawyer in Bodfari is not listed on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd Conveyancing Panel. Can I still continue with my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the Godiva Mortgages Ltd approved list?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Bodfari lawyers but Godiva Mortgages Ltd will need to retain a conveyancer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall conveyancing charges as well as result in delays.
- Find an alternative practitioner to act in the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd panel

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Barclays are being a right pain. The Bodfari solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Barclays are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

How does conveyancing in Bodfari differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Bodfari come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Bodfari typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Bodfari or who has acted in the same development.
Why do Bodfari conveyancing fees are higher for leasehold and freehold properties?
